Aren't you sick of the yearly quota of Van rip off albums that spew forth from Bang Records? Van must hate that stuff put out in his name. Can't he just buy the masters? It's the same stuff repackaged three or four times a year. Then you have them all for sale on ebay with titles like "The Great Van Morrison", "George Ivan Morrison" and "The Bang Years" etc.
People buy them and then think Van's a lousy artist. What do you think?
Yeah, he should buy the rights to them. Check on Ebay. You see hundreds of Van albums just rotating the 20 or so Bang songs. (There are another 20 songs which were incomplete songs handed to Mrs Berns to get out of his contract in 1967)
There are hundreds of these stupid albums made up from the same 20 songs. How long can people keep getting ripped off? Bang must be stopped! I think they enjoy trying to hurt Van's reputation.
